Romney: So Many Ads, So Little Time

This morning, Mitt Romney’s campaign announced the nine finalists in its “Team Mitt: Create Your Own Ad Contest!”

You can see the finalists here and vote (as long as you provide contact info, including home and email addresses). Supporters created 60-second ads using photos and audio provided by the campaign on its Internet site. If success is measured by the number of times each video has been seen, then the likely winner will be: “Ready for Action,” which has been seem almost 13,000 times.

Two notable entries, however, didn’t make the cut. The political team at Slate created two snarky entries, “Way!” (now seen more than 28,000 times) and “Five Brothers.” Team Mitt might not have been amused, but Slate has already declared victory.
